whistling when air conditioner is on

Just recently I have been getting this whistling sound when I step on the gas. If I had an intake, that would make sense, but I'm using the stock air box. So that ruled out that. I decided to try out the air conditioner. I turned it off and the noise was gone. When it's on, the whistling sound is there. Any ideas?

Could be debris in the blower. Leaves and stuff can accumulate from the vents in the cowl causing some whistling.

Hm...I'm going to have the dealer have a look. I'm bringing the car in for the free checkup thing they have going. Of course, I'm only letting them check on the car. If anything needs to be done, I'm NOT going to let them do it.
